Im buying a new computer with windows 10 but all my games are already on the older windows 7 hard drive. I want to install the windows 7 hard drive into the new computer as a second hard drive .Will there be a conflict of windows?
 
Solution
You can use the old drive, but the games will not run from that drive under Windows 10 unless reinstalled since they will not have any correct registry entries.

If they are STEAM games it is an easy fix -- are they?

No, They are origin games, but I will reinstall them. I have dialup so I was trying to get around all the updates and day of waiting LOL. I am getting a drive reader to transfer some of my files so I wont need to install the windows 7 drive. Thank you for a speedy reply. :)
